'I was speechless for a moment when I noticed that one of the students was wearing a mask that looked dirty and the ear loops had even been sewn back on.'

PETALING JAYA, Aug 6 — A special education teacher in Sandakan, Sabah went above and beyond his duties to provide free face masks to his students recently.

After asking his students about the issue, Fazri found out that there were others in the same boat who only changed their mask after using it for two or three days to save money. Hari ini saya ambil sedikit masa berbincang dgn murid mengenai pemakaian pelitup muka ketika berada di dalam kawasan yang sesak. Terdiam seketika saya apabila melihat pelitup muka seorang murid kelihatan kotor dan siap berjahit lagi tali dia. pic.twitter.

“The situation was solved immediately at that time, but to think that the same thing could happen to any student in Malaysia, I decided to bring up the issue to the public and ask those who are able to help students like this to contact schools nearby them.“I think it’s time to let everyone in the community know that they are most welcome to help schools as well,” said Fazri.
